Kidnapped my sleep deprived sister (and aspiring food blogger? ??) on ANZAC day for a caffeine hit on Beumont street, Hamilton.
Unfortunately, the gluten free cinnamon toast took aaages to come, and could have done with more butter. But it was great to get out!

Been a couple of years since I went to Blue Water Pizza, but it was time to go back again. They have gluten free bases for a $5.20 surcharge, but they are nice bases!
Started with a garlic crust. Which initially came out with cheese, despite a specific request for no cheese.
Vegetarian – Mykonos Pizza
Chicken and Prawn – Rio Grande (they were meant to bring out sweet chilli sauce and sour cream for it, too, but that didn’t arrive until we were halfway thru >:|)
Supposedly a greek salad. But it had sundried tomatoes instead of fresh ones, and some other roast veges from jars, and no red onion. It was.. weird. Oh and the plate was cold, so I think it had been in the fridge plated up all day ready to plonk on a table…
They did pass the soy latte making test this time though! :p

Back in Newcastle for a while, to regroup, get things in perspective, look after myself, and play with some adorable little people.
It could be worse!

An interesting breakfast excursion, with their coffee machine not initially working very well, and them putting bacon rather than fruit on the French Toast. But yum, once it all came together.
(the fruit that SHOULD have been on the French Toast)
A.. “Well done”?? omelette.

Ahh, Nara and Uncle Raja’s. Worked threre through uni, living off naan, butter chicken sauce and pad thai. Oh and bottles of diet coke.
The two are combined now, so you can get a selection of Indian and Thai dishes in the one kitchen.
So, pad thai, chicken madrass and lamb korma. A Malaysia style Laksa.
And suggestive looking deep fried ice cream for dessert!

There are two sites for Raw Cafe in Newcastle. One at the very est end of Hunter street, near the Backpackers’ accommodation, and the other inside the gym I’ve been frequenting while staying up here.
I stopped at the Hunter Street cafe for lunch this week, excited by their promise of a healthy chicken burger (grilled chicken breast fillet, cos lettuce, avocado, tomato and garlic aioli, with gluten free toast rather than a gluten full bun for me), with a side of chats instead of chips!
And a very drinkable so latte.
Well done, boys! :)

Fish cakes
I have to love how many Newcastle restaurants I’m only going to now that I’ve lived out of the place for seven years.
?Penang Curry
Benjama’s Thai in Darby Street is now another one for their list. Amazing food, why haven’t I tried you before?
Yum! Pad Thai!
Oh that’s right, because when I worked at a Thai restaurant in Newcastle, and lived off pad thai, Thai was the last thing I’d go out for.
Token vego dish to space out the meat and noodles.

You know, and I know better.
(ahh, a fun day. But one that marked a turning point in my life)

About to head back to Sydney after a weekend up in Newcastle. A weekend spent with family and friends, eating, drinking… talking and laughing, sniffling away with this damn cold!
Day 6 – The ever resourceful Liam, who now knows to drag things over so he can stand/climb on them to get to things.
Day 7 – Just up from a nap.

I arrived an hour early for breakfast on Sunday. Apparently the Android Facebook App is not to be relied on for important things like time of events. Mine said 8:30am, Rish’s said 2:30am. At least he could easily tell his was wrong!
A made up breakfast of gluten free toast, bacon, tomato and avocado. What? You can’t see the avo? That’s because they forgot it.
Here it is! An interesting mixed up avocado puree with a hint of chili, I believe.
So filling! :)
